PLATE-BILLED MOUNTAIN-TOUCAN Andigena laminirostris. This Plate-billed Mountain-Toucan has just landed high up in a tall tree on a mountain top above the Tandayapa Valley in northwestern Ecuador. This toucan is seen in direct sunlight early on a beautiful day on December 23, 2013 at an elevation of about 2,300 meters (7,546 feet).

The Plate-billed Mountain Toucan lives in the Andes from southwestern Colombia to southern Ecuador.
